Abstract

The concept of quality, which we encounter in many areas in today's world, is also emerging due to the increasing market competition in the automotive sector. Manufacturers in the automotive industry are struggling with the ISO 9001 standard, which is not sufficient in a growing competitive environment, and different quality management systems of more than one country. IATF 16949 standard is a standard that covers processes such as production, design, improvement, assembly and service in the automotive industry with ISO 9001 standard of many leading automobile manufacturers. The aim of this study is to complete the installation stages of the IATF 16949 standard by examining its technical requirements considering its importance. By examining the articles of the IATF 16949 standard, an application that will be an example for companies has been made.
